ended up getting about 2inches lower, guards just above the wheels now. Looks so much better.

the equipment ended up being a mix of 200SX and s13 fitments, plus the electronic adjustment function of the suspension was removed up front.... kept at the back for a tidbit of extra adjustment.

used sports ryder coil springs, new struts and replaced all radius rod bushes (they were farked).... much nicer now, but big speed humps scare me. got a bit of the ol grind going - so I am going to cut down the mud flaps and maybe put a brace protector over the exhaust at its lowest point like I did on my ol truck - its a great way to protect your new turbo back exhaust from getting squished!

I will have some photos in an hour or so when my furkin camera finished charging.

so much for not spending money on the ceffy!

if anyone wants the product codes for the exact bits you will need to drop a stock ceffy just ask I have them here today.

can you take some underbody shots when u have time ?? my stock exhuast gets scraped on reasonably small humps... can't imagine what it will be like with aftermarket exhuast..

make sure its not your mud flaps those things hang quite low and make a surprisingly nasty noise. If it is your exhaust, what height are you at? It looks pretty low from the pics I have seen (if mem serves me correctly).

i don't have a cannon style muffler, I have a stock looking end - that might be a better option, but first, where does yours actually get scraped?

I took my mud flaps off the first week of having the car because they scraped way to much, havnt got any stone chips just a build up of rubber up on the bumper, lol, i also have 7" cannon only scrapes on steep driveways but my car is only standard height

lol man im not looking forward to getting mine on the streets then... i won be putting a cannon on mine tho... i'll be using a set of twins with an oval muffler which should give a little more room

I'd say thats the way to go, and pull off the mud guards.... will look heaps better without them anyway

thanks for putting up the underbody pics kursed :D

my car looks a little lower than that... it was 50mm off the ground when it first got here... still too low i think.. i wouldn't care if i was scraping the front bar or any bodyparts but it sounds like i'm scraping the exhuast... (mine doesn't have mud flaps either..)

you'd be lucky to fit a tally ho under the lowest part of your car john :(

Mine came here with only 90mm front. I couldnt get shi*t under there to change the worn out tyres. Even the mechanic hoists coudnt help as i wasnt able to go over it due to the front bar. Ended up having to use a mini-jack to get it to reasonable height then take the larger jack later on.

mine with 50mm...

gee man.. looks like no westfields or stanmore maccas for yourslef. :jk:

when i saw your car last time at grey imports. It didnt seem that low?.. I must have been looking at it wrongly. Also sorry i didnt take any pics because i stopped going there. He was always too busy.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
